zip file script with date concatenation

sarelnet · 01-18-2012, 06:00 AM

Hi,
I've tried to make bash script in order to backup my svn:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
ZIPFN="bu-$(date +\%Y.\%m.\%d_\%H.\%M.\%S).zip"
zip -r svn-backup/$ZIPFN svn/trunk/ -x "*/.svn/*"

It doesn't work.

OS: centOS x64

Thanks!

Hi,

try this

Code:

ZIPFN="bu-$(date +"%Y.%m.%d_%H.%M.%S").zip"

Ain't working.
(It works partially - but zip includes svn directories. The code I gave does the same).

Thanks anyway

Hi,
the following script prints (echo):

Code:

zip -r svn-backup/proj-backup-2012-01-19_09-42-41.zip svn/trunk/ -x "*/.svn/*"

Now comes the very weird part:
When it runs - it saves .svn folders and files in it (not good).
When I use this line in bash - it works perfectly (doesn't saves .svn folders and files in it)

Any suggestions?

Code:

#!/bin/bash
ZIPFN="zip -r svn-backup/proj-backup-"$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S")".zip svn/trunk/ -x "'"*/.svn/*"'
echo $ZIPFN
$ZIPFN

I could only point you to example excluding with ZIP
if you try it out.
I don't use zip just because of this problems (excluding) so I use Tar. sorry.

good luck
